Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's Statement 
 
 
HIGHLIGHTS 
The Group has once again performed strongly, with revenues increasing in spite 
of the global downturn, though the economic climate remains challenging. 
However, the Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) sector continues to be both 
resilient and dynamic and looking forward, the Group is well positioned to take 
advantage of this. 
 
 
The requirement for ever-increasing data speeds, both on land and at sea, has 
led to increased demand for both mobile and fixed satellite services and we have 
now added Inmarsat's Fleet Broadband to our portfolio, whilst our investment in 
the VSAT business via our subsidiary SDN, continues to bring returns. 
 
 
In pursuit of ever-better customer service in the markets we serve, the Group 
has continued its international expansion, investing in a new facility in 
Australia and relocating our 24/7 customer service centre and merging it with 
that of SDN. We have also invested in communications infrastructure to ensure 
that all Group locations are fully interconnected by a high-speed global 
network. 
 
 
The attached accounts of SatCom Group Holdings Plc ("SatCom" or the "Group") 
show a significant year of revenue growth and continued growth in profitability. 
In the last year the Group has concentrated on integrating and growing the 
business during the difficult financial times of 2009. 
 
 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 
I am pleased to report that the Group's results show increases across the board 
when compared with 2008 numbers. The Group's turnover showed an increase of 43% 
to $103 million with both Mobile Satellite Services ("MSS") and VSAT sectors 
contributing strongly. The MSS sector showed growth in broadband products in 
both maritime and land based services. As expected, the blended gross profit 
margin reduced from 22.5% to 18.8% due to the increase in revenue from US 
Government contracts which is at lower margins. Overheads increased by 28%, due 
to a full year of SDN costs being included (2008: 2 months only). The Group 
EBITDA has increased by 13% to $6.8 million (2008: $6.0 million). 
 
 
The basic earnings per share has increased by 11.3% to 6.87 cents (2008: 6.17 
cents) and diluted earnings per share has increased by 14.6% to 6.75 cents 
(2008: 5.89 cents). The percentage increase in earnings per share has been 
affected by the increase in average number of shares in issue for the year as 
set out in Note 3 to these accounts. SatCom continues its progressive dividend 
policy and it is the Board's intention to propose a final dividend of 0.50 cents 
per share (2008: 0.40 cents). This dividend when added to the interim dividend 
paid in April 2009 will provide total income of 0.75 cents per share (2008: 0.60 
cents) representing a 25% increase over 2008. 
 
 
The Group continues to invest in the IT involved in delivering higher quality 
service to customers globally through our integrated billing system and 
global broadband infrastructure. 
 
 
In June 2009, the Group negotiated new facilities with HSBC which were used to 
redeem Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock totalling GBP3,000,000 and US$600,000. 
STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS 
We have continued to develop our broadband range of products and services in 
both the MSS and VSAT sectors and expect these sectors to continue to grow. The 
Group is investing in value added products to complement these broadband 
products. 
 
 
SatCom continues to look at possible strategic acquisitions if and when 
opportunities arise. 
 
 
We thank the Group's employees around the world for their efforts in the last 
year and also thank our customers for their business and look forward to working 
with them in 2010.
